About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Grand Dukes Restaurant serves unique and comforting Lithuanian and eastern European cuisine in its impressive and rustic eatery. Starters such as the Lithuanian potato nachos topped with beer cheese sauce, bacon and jalapenos and the potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, are perfect introductions to Dukes' style of cuisine. Some of Grand Dukes Restaurant's house specialties include the pierogi dumplings with potato and onions topped with a sour cream bacon sauce, the crispy chicken Kiev filled with garlic butter and the salmon in envelope with sliced potatoes, leeks, and creamy dill sauce. Sandwiches, such as the veal wiener schnitzel with Swiss cheese on brioche, the classic Rueben and the breaded pork cutlet belly buster sandwich with garlic sauce, are customer favorites and are ideal with a European beer. Grand Dukes Restaurant also hosts live music events every Friday and Saturday, which perfectly complements the already-merry atmosphere.

    I had invited my family because we love European food. There was 10 of us. We all ordered different things. The portions were huge. Unfortunately no flavor. We were all disappointed in the food. We will not be back!

    There was a band playing. It was too loud to carry on a conversation.

    Food is always good. Service is nice and gets things right, but seems a little under staffed.
